I walked into Nimble one day 2 years ago when I saw a flier for a free assessment - and I'm so glad I did! I've tried a few different gyms over the years, and always ended up quitting because I didn't enjoy the atmosphere - I felt intimidated or even unwelcome. But Nimble is different. There's a super friendly and professional front desk staff (shout out to Grace, Will, and Elizabeth!) who make you feel welcome and are always happy to see you. There's absolutely no hard sell, no 500 year contract you can't get out of, no pressure to add classes or sessions that you don't want to add. Just smart, knowledgeable, positive people encouraging you to believe in yourself as much as they believe in you. There's an extensive intake process, which is designed to help match each client's personality, goals, and fitness style to the right trainer. It's very thoughtfully done, and that's how I ended up working with one of the partners, Jason Pulido.
Since I started working with Jason, I actually like exercising! (Jason, if you read this - this does not include mountain climbers!) After years of only running when being chased, I'm running 3-4 days a week, plus looking forward to getting out of bed and going to the gym. For a former couch potato, this is a huge and very welcome change. In addition, Jason has extensive knowledge of anatomy, rehabilitation, and kinesiology which adds a depth and thoughtfulness to our sessions. I had an old knee injury that made me afraid to run, jump, or kick - all things I now do on a regular basis with no pain. I'm stronger, healthier, and more confident since I started working out at Nimble.
The new St Mark's space is beautiful - brand new equipment, spotlessly clean, bright and sunny! Both locations are just really pleasant, happy places to work out in - even when I show up sleepy and cranky, I leave happy...and a little sore! I cannot recommend Nimble enough.
